Disclosure: This is my own personal opinion. I have not been paid by Apple, Intel, Qualcomm, AMD, or anyone else to write it. TL;DR: The MacBook Neo is not the most powerful laptop here, and it is not the best specs bargain. At $599, it is the simplest smart laptop buy in a very messy 2026 market.

This is super annoying and even worse because I like the pointing stick better anyway. Can you give me any tips? –Andrea Answer: Hi Andrea! I think I can help
The Dell XPS 13 with infinity edge display is one of my favorite hardware designs from 2015. The software side, not so much… You can read my brief review here. 🙂
Q. Yo yo hoss, can you hook me up with some info on a power supply that will let me use my Dell M6700 in the car? Gracias! A. Hola good sir!
